Preparation for painting the jacket

Polyester is classified as synthetic material that can be color-coded. Therefore, repaint the jacket in a different color will not be difficult. For this procedure, you need to purchase all the necessary materials and prepare a bath for dyeing. The painting process does not require any knowledge, but precautions should still be observed.

Check the fabric of the jacket

Pay attention to the label. It shows which materials the jacket is made of. If it is made from 100% polyester, then it will not be difficult to paint. In case the product is made of impurities of materials( for example, acetate), then painting the thing will be much more difficult:

• The coloring procedure will be successful if the thing is at least 60% polyester. No problems will arise if the impurities of the materials are also colorable. These fabrics include: silk, cotton, linen and viscose.
• Often, polyester outerwear is treated with special solutions that have a stain-repellent effect. Also, these substances strengthen the fabric fibers of clothing and prevent the paint from being absorbed into the fabric. Therefore, it is recommended that you carefully read the information on the label before painting the polyester jacket.

Color of jacket

The original color of the outer clothing always affects the final result after painting, regardless of whether the jacket was light or dark. Experienced housewives say that a light( for example, white) jacket is much easier to paint. But it is necessary to understand the following:

• Beige, white, blue and pink shades are well colored, because they quickly absorb dark colors. Do not forget that the original color has a strong effect on the final result of staining.
• If you decide to paint a motley coat, then choose dark paint colors - they are easier to cover the original shade of outerwear.

Choose a dye

You can paint polyester with any chemical paint, but first you need to get acquainted with the information about its composition. Usually the instructions for use and all information are indicated on the packaging.

If you did not find it there, then go to the manufacturer's website:

• "Rit" paint is great for coloring synthetic and natural fabrics.
• Observe the manufacturer's recommendations. They are indicated on the dye package.
• Fabric dyes are available in powder form, which should be diluted with water during painting.

Workstation

The dyeing procedure is very dirty work. Therefore, it is recommended that the working area be properly prepared. All should be covered with newspapers or oilcloth, so as not to contaminate clothes and hands, and:

1. Put a towel, paper napkins and detergent next to you. If you pour out the dye, you can quickly remove everything before the paint absorbs.
2. Wear gloves and an apron to avoid staining your hands and clothing.
3. If in your arsenal there is no overalls, put on things that do not pity to get dirty.

Remove accessories from outer clothing

Do not forget to remove buttons, chains and other removable items if you want to keep their original appearance. Check your pockets well. To after painting the jacket, do not find there money and other important things.

We paint the jacket

• Before dyeing outerwear, soak it in warm water. This is necessary so that the paint is evenly distributed throughout the jacket. You can soak it in a sink or in a bucket.
• Next, take the bolone jacket out of the water and straighten all the creases and wrinkles, so that the dye subsequently lays evenly on its surface.
• Heat a large saucepan with water. Water pour so that the jacket floats freely.

Important! The product must float freely in water. Thus, the paint can evenly absorb. The size of the pan should be such that after the product is immersed, it is filled to three quarters. It is recommended to choose a very large container in order not to lose.

• Bring water to a boil over low heat. Then we pour out the water into the pelvis and immerse our product in the resulting "bath".Make sure that the water is at least 60 degrees Celsius.
• Add a colorful solution to the pan with boiling water and stir for a few minutes. For one bag of paint will require at least 11 liters of water. If you take less, the color will be more saturated. And if on the contrary, the shade, accordingly, will be less bright.

Important! The dye is dissolved in a separate vessel. A packet of powder is poured into 200 ml of hot water. Stir until completely dissolved. If you use liquid paint, then you must first dissolve it with water.

• For a more vivid and colorful result, white vinegar can be added to the water.11 liters of water will require 100 ml of vinegar.
• "Cook" the jacket needs at least one hour.

Do not forget to take into account several important rules when "cooking" the product:

1. Do not leave the product unattended. It can surface and the painting process will become useless.
2. With wooden sticks and a spoon, press the thing to the bottom of the container so that the water completely covers it.
3. Continue stirring the product under water with spoons.
4. If you last longer to cook a jacket, the result is a darker and more saturated color.

After all the performed manipulations, you need to carefully get the product out of the bath. And then rinse with running water( first hot), gradually reducing its temperature. Rinse should be until the jacket begins to drain clean water.

Important! These manipulations need to be done on the street or in the sink. If you decide to do this in the sink, then at the end of the process you need to clean it thoroughly with chlorine-containing preparations, as the paint is very quickly absorbed.

We prepare bologna outerwear to be worn:

• After staining, wash the product with detergent thoroughly. This can be done manually or in a washing machine. Specialists recommend washing by hand, as the drum of the washing machine can be painted and it will not be easy to wash it later.
• Dry the jacket in a dryer or in the fresh air.

Important! Before washing and drying, carefully read the manufacturer's recommendations on the product label.

• After draining the jacket, return to its place removable accessories( hood, chains and buttons).

If you are not sure that you will be able to paint the jacket yourself and without consequences, then practice first on old and unnecessary things. Thus, you reduce the risk of damage to expensive things to you.
